Tax / tribute
A payable whose document is a Tax / tribute stands for a federal, state or municipal tax form. In the form: Operation type = Document payment → Document = Tax / tribute (a tax is a document, not a "payment method" — see Operation and payment). The Tax type field decides which tax-form-specific fields you get.
Tax types
Nine, as they appear in the "Tax type" picker:
| Tax | Structured tax form? |
|---|---|
| ITBI — Real Estate Transfer Tax | No |
| ICMS — Tax on the Circulation of Goods and Services | No |
| ISS — Service Tax | No |
| IPTU — Urban Property and Land Tax | No |
| FGTS — Severance Indemnity Fund | Yes |
| DARE — State Revenue Collection Document | No |
| DARF — Federal Revenue Collection Document | Yes |
| GRU — Federal Collection Guide | Yes |
| GPS — Social Security Guide | Yes |
How to enter the tax form
Once the type is chosen, DARF, GRU, GPS and FGTS get a second field — "How to enter" — with two options:
- Barcode (the default) — a single field: "Barcode / digitable line".
- Guide fields — opens the structured sections of the document, described below.
The other five types don't get that choice. ICMS, ISS, IPTU, ITBI and DARE take the barcode only — the "How to enter" field never shows up for them.
Tax form fields
Only in Guide fields mode, and only for the four types above. Each tax form is laid out in sections that mirror the official document.
DARF
| Section | Fields |
|---|---|
| Taxpayer identification | Taxpayer type · Taxpayer CPF/CNPJ · Taxpayer name |
| Guide data | Revenue / payment code · Reference number · Calculation date · Due date |
| Charges and income | Fine · Interest · Gross income |
DARF has the widest Taxpayer type list: CNPJ, CPF, NIT, PIS, PASEP, CEI, NB, Title no., DEBCAD and Reference.
GRU
| Section | Fields |
|---|---|
| Due date and reference | Due date · Reference number · Total amount |
| Value adjustments (optional) | Discount · Other deductions · Other additions · Fine · Interest |
GPS
| Section | Fields |
|---|---|
| Taxpayer identification | Taxpayer type · Taxpayer CPF/CNPJ · Taxpayer name |
| Guide data | Revenue / payment code · Competence · Due date · Other entities |
| Charges (optional) | Monetary update · Fine · Interest |
The GPS Taxpayer type list is shorter than the DARF one: CNPJ, CPF, NIT, PIS, PASEP and CEI.
FGTS
| Section | Fields |
|---|---|
| Identification | Contributor code · PIS/PASEP number · Collection code |
| FGTS data | FGTS code · JAM percentage (%) · Connectivity seal |
FGTS has no taxpayer section and no charges section — the codes are what identify it.
Sending through the Banking Gateway
All nine types can be sent to the bank. Routing looks at the operation × document pair — "Document payment" + "Tax / tribute" resolves to the gateway's tax resource, whatever the tax type is. An IPTU entered as a barcode goes out just as well as a DARF.
What is exclusive to DARF, GRU, GPS and FGTS isn't the sending, it's the way you enter it: only they take the structured tax form. The rest travel on the barcode.
Sending is never automatic. Nothing leaves on its own: you click it — "Send to the bank" on the detail screen, or "Send payments" to dispatch a batch from the listing. See Sending to the bank and Lifecycle.
